Join us and become R&D Project Lead in the R&D Project Management department where you, along with your colleagues, will be responsible for setting up and driving projects, work packages and tasks related mainly to R&D, technology and technical developments. Through this work, we reduce energy costs and operational risks, which will make offshore wind a key element in addressing the climate challenge for our modern society. Our projects cover multiple technical areas, and you’ll work in a cross-organisational setup with senior management, technical and operational experts and our financial functions.

solve administrative and portfolio management tasks in relation to the team and the general R&D programme

contribute to the PM toolbox, prepare presentations and improvements of internal processes

participate in the scoping and maturation of project ideas and proposals

work with technical specialists on technology development tasks related to external stakeholders.

Furthermore, you’ll act as project manager or work-stream lead on selected technology projects (if time permits). You’ll be responsible for key deliverables in technology development and engineering tools projects in a wide range of technical disciplines as well as for maturing our processes in relation to R&D project management.

Your competences include that you

have a keen interest in R&D and understand/appreciate both technology development and the project management toolbox

have some experience with project management - preferably related to R&D or technology management

have a very strong drive and strive to deliver on stretch assignments

have excellent communication skills and enjoy working in a dynamic environment and with a large group of stakeholders.

In addition, it’s a plus if you have prior knowledge of offshore wind, either from relevant education or working experience.
